Application filed March 6,

My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a ventilatingdome adapted for use on stoves, particularly stoves which are used forcooking purposes. V

It is an object of the present invention to provide a ventilating dome.of this class whereby vapors, smoke and odors arising from the stove orfrom articles being cooked thereon or therein may be quickly conveyedaway. 1

It is another object of the invention to provide a ventilating dome ofthis'class which will be simple in structure, economical of manufactureand highly eflicient in use.

Anotherobject of the invention is the provisionof a ventilating dome ofthis class having means therein for effecting a forced draft. Anotherobject of the inventionis the provision of'an electrically driven motorfor effecting a forced draft and provided with control means forcontrolling the operation of said motor.

Other objects will appear hereinafter. The invention Consists in'thecombination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.Q The invention will. be best understood by a reference to theaccompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and inwhich; r Fig. l is a central longitudinal vertical sectional view of theinvention.

The dome comprises a top having a rear wall 8. Thetop 7' is formed'toprovidean inclined front wall 8 and inclined end walls 10 and 11. Theend walls and thefront wall 1 are formed with similar edge flanges.Thesev walls are provided with the downwardly directed angularly turned.portion 12 which is horizontally turned as at 13-and again verticallyturned as at 14 to provide the channel 1 14.

An L-shaped supporting bracket 23ismounted on the forward wall of the dome and serves to support theelectric socket 24 in which is positioned the light bulb 25, a sui tableswitch 26 serving to control the flow of current to "the light bulb 25.-7 Vires' 27 and 28 serve to conduct electricity to the motor '21, theswitch 26 being interposed inthe wire 27l As shown in the drawngthe'se'wires lie in the channel 14." so that they are practically concealedfromview and nomarringofthe appearance of thedome is effected thereby."s V The rear wall 8 issecured to a supporting surface'29 :by screws 30projected" through the rear .wall and 'thi'oug :the spacing chairs whichare'iforine'd lUj- 'shaped and comprise the legs 31 and 32 which engagethe supporting surface 29, the bight of these U-shaped chairs resting.against the face of the rear wall 8 so that aresilient and yieldablesupporting of the dome is thereby effected. s When inuse a suitableconduitis mounted on the neck 16 and connected to a flue so that thevapors may expel from the room in which the stove may be positioned.Upon a 0 closing of the switch 26,'the light bulb 25 will be lighted;thusafi'ordin g desired illu- Inination over the stove and at-the sametime setting into operation the fan 22 which will set up the forceddraft to draw the vapors from around and above thefstove into the domeand expel them outwardly through the conduit or flue connected to theneck 16. By having the annular member 17 positioned concentrically aboutthe fan 22, an increasing The inner endsof 60 in efiicieney is providedand escape of the vapors downwardly after being brought into the fan andinto contact with the inner surface of the top wall 7 is retarded andpractically prevented.

With a ventilating dome arranged and constructed as described, a durableand neatly appearing structure is prdvi'defl and one which will serve tomaintain the room in 10 which food is being cooked free from all un'desirable odors of the "cooking f'oo'd.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of myinvention, I "do not wish to limit myself to the precise details V ofstructure shown but desire to avail myself ofsuch variationsand-modifications as come within -the 'scope of the appended claims.
